Roskam, Kirk FDA Bill would save lives, Salmonella outbreak avoidable

Currently, domestic food suppliers, importers, and private testing labs, are not required to report all testing data, leaving the FDA in the dark when a shipment fails to meet U.S. standards. This missed opportunity denies the FDA the ability to collect data for its risk-based screening system. Most importantly, it leaves open the possibility a nefarious supplier, domestic or international, could shop around for a lab willing to give it favorable results to gain entry into the U.S. food supply.
